Hi,I use Mint14 Cinnamon now (used to be Mate) on one desktop and one laptop - works great. Samba also works fine except for printing, can not "get permission" to print. I cannot find any window/terminalcommand to establish/change the password that the system demands. Please help!! PS! The png file is partly in Norwegian - "Ledig" means Available. I also have a testparm -v output in Terminal but do not know how to get the whole file in a Screenshot.

I guess my last entry did not express anything really, fact is there is no progress here. I have no problems with Samba networking between pc's, it's all down to accessing the printer connected to my desktop from my laptop that have IP adress 10.0.0.26. Both machines have Mint14 Cinnamon 64bit installed. I have no problems accessing CUPS throu localhost 631 and my admin or root passwords are both accepted.Regards Johannes

The Printer you are trying to access via Samba is: MG3100-series on CUPS Server: INGE-DESKTOP

You are trying to access that printer from CUPS Client: JOHS-THINKPAD-T61

[1] The change to smb.conf I suggested was to be done on INGE-DESKTOP. Is that where you made the change?

[2] Why do you have an "Allow from 10.0.0.26" on the Cups Client. That's usually used to restrict who can access a printer service on a server not a client. And it's not clear to me who 10.0.0.26 is - the server or the client.

Please add a [SOLVED] at the end of your original subject header if your question has been answered and solved.

It's a hell of weather here right now but for me the Sun Shines. Realized that I had put to much rubbish in the machine lately and reinstalled Cinnamon yesterday. Using static IP adresses I decided to try that way. Opened Printers from the Meneu, entered IP adress and viola - job done, it can't be easier.Big hug!!! Thanks a lot!!!!!Regards Johannes

I am on thin ice here, surely someone can correct me if needed. This is the secret (I think); Cinnamon has one Printer app that surely has it's shortcomings but do have this neat "seek" for printer, when found put in the, in your case, NAS's IP and viola, you are on. It can't be simpler. As for KDE I have no idea, looked at it once but have no knowledge at all.
